The Nation of
is that chosen generation, the royal priesthood, a holy nation, composed of a peculiar people. The word peculiar is defined as "distinctive in nature or character from all others; belonging exclusively to some person" (according to The Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, copyright 1999, Computer Software).
These peculiar people are the whole tribe of Yehuwdah (Judah)-the so-called Black people of America, descendants of slaves. We belong exclusively to
and, as such, have a distinct nature or character that is different from all others, which is in agreement with Deuteronomy 7:6: For thou art an holy people unto the Lord,
, thy God: the Lord,
, thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto Himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
Further, we are the people described in 1 Peter 2:10: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God,
: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
We are by nature a "holy people," a special people unto the Lord,
, above all people that are upon the face of the planet Earth. However, in time past, we were not a
people--meaning we had no knowledge of our true history, language, culture, name, land, and God. But
now--at the coming of our Savior and Deliverer,
--we have obtained mercy, and are being called out of darkness, with regard to our hidden identity, into His marvelous light of truth.
Almighty
has given His Son,
, "all" power and authority in both heaven and in earth to execute judgment and justice in the earth (Jeremiah 23:5; Matthew 28:18; John 5:27). On that ground, He has invited all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues of the Earth to follow Him and to become citizens of the Nation of
, the royal priesthood.
As citizens, we are commanded to keep the Feast of Tabernacles and Holy Convocation, which celebrates theocratic ruler ship. So, join us in the beautiful country of Canada--the Province of Quebec, the lovely city of Montreal, September 28 through October 5, 2006, at the luxurious Doubletree Plaza Hotel--so together we, the chosen generation, the royal priesthood, can all show forth praises to
for His truth, which endures forever.

Budgeting Tips On How To Get To the Feasts Three Times In A Year
Household Budgeting: Living Within Your Means
To get to the feasts of
requires that you have a plan. In our last article, we showed you how to create a family and household budget. So, in this article, we will offer you tips that will help you to start getting your finances under control.
If it is your earnest desire to attend all three feasts of
, then a good way to get your finances under control is to do a budget each month. This is a good way to make sure you are living within your means, and it helps you to figure out if you will have money for other expenditures like new garments, shoes, etc.
Here are a few tips when making a household budget:
- If you don't know how much to budget for cash items like newspaper, stamps, snacks, etc., then write down your cash expenses for a week in a notebook to give you an accurate idea of how much you are spending on miscellaneous items. The amount may surprise you.
- Try to think of all your expenses for the year. Even leaving out 50 cents for a newspaper each day adds up to an annual expense of $182.50.
Amazing Facts of the Bible
- Noah, being a just and perfect man, found grace in the sight of the Lord,
, and was therefore spared from the total destruction of earth (Genesis, Chapter 6, verse 9; 13 through 22; Genesis, Chapters 7 and 8).
- The Lord, , opened up the womb of Sarah, Abraham's wife, being old and well stricken in age to bear Isaac through whom He would establish His covenant (Genesis, Chapter 18, verses 10 through 14; Genesis, Chapter 21, verses 1 through 7).
- Because remembered Abraham, He saved Lot out of the midst of the utter overthrow and annihilation of Sodom and Gomorrah, the city in which he dwelt (Genesis, Chapter 19, verse 29).
"The Lord,Are Your Children Safe On The Internet?
Today, children spend a considerable amount of time surfing the web. Chances are, they probably know more about the computer than you do. They e-mail, download software, and the like, and may even talk to strangers; sometimes without knowing any better. But the question is, are they safe?
Remember, our children are our responsibility, and
put them in our care so that we can train them up in the way they should go (Proverbs 22:6). This means that we, as parents and guardians, should take an active role in monitoring all of our children's activities, even their Internet usage. The Internet is like a double-edged sword: on the one hand, it is a great research and educational tool right at your fingertips; and on the other hand, it is an additional avenue for tricksters, predators, and con artists, which can put our children in danger and at risk. And since we are answerable to
for our children's well-being and safety, here are eight important online safety rules to keep you and your family safe:
1. Use filtering tools available on most web services and browsers. Go to getnetwise.org for more information on filtering tools.
2. Teach your children never to give out personal information such as name, address, telephone number, parent's information or school information without parental consent.
3. Your children should never agree to meet or get together with someone they meet online.
4. Your children should never send anyone their picture or anything else without parent's permission.
5. Teach your children never to respond to email messages from people they do not know, or that make them feel uncomfortable.
6. Children (and adults) should never give anyone their Internet password.
7. Make sure that your children understand the risks of revealing personal information and their email address online.
8. Discuss and post online rules near the computer as a reminder.
It is important that we be involved in our children's online activities. Our Messiah,
, has taught us to monitor the company our children keep, to know where they are going at all times, and so on. So, why not know what your children are doing on the Internet and the websites that they frequently visit.
The Ten Plagues of Egypt, Part 11
This is part eleven of our on-going studies on "The Ten Plagues of Egypt." In part ten, we began decoding Exodus, Chapter 9, verse 3, which reads:
"Behold, the HAND of the Lord,When we decoded the phrase, "Behold, the hand of the Lord,
, is upon thy cattle which is in the field," we interpreted this to mean that
shall exercise His supreme power and cause an infection or illness to come upon all the domestic animals that are kept or raised for sale and profit on areas of farm land across America. And as a result, President Bush shall suffer greatly because livestock (domestic animals, such as cows, sheep, horses, pigs, and the like) play a "critical" role in and are vital commodities to the American economy. Therefore, without SALE and PROFIT from these animals, a huge number of banks and businesses shall fail, large-scale unemployment shall result, and, thus, a total economic collapse. All of this shall serve as "divine" punishment to ultimately humble President Bush and to bring him into total submission to the "divine" will of
.
Exodus, Chapter 9, verse 3 also substantiates that not only shall this infection or illness result in DEATH upon domestic animals, but it shall also be upon--
"--the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep:..."This is exactly where we shall continue our studies. The horses, asses, camels, oxen, and sheep are all symbolic representations used to describe something else. Therefore, let us begin to examine each of these words, beginning with the word horses. According to The Cassell Concise Dictionary, copyright 1998, on page 712, a horse, the singular of the plural word horses, is described as "cavalry." The Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software, describes cavalry as "the army." Army in the same reference source is identified as "the military; the armed forces; soldiers." In light of these facts, we can determine that horses in this Scripture represent the military, the armed forces, or the soldiers.
Additionally, an infection or illness shall also be upon the asses and the camels. What do these typify? An ass (reference number 860), the singular of the plural asses, in Hebrew is athown, pronounced aw-thone, and in The New Strong's Complete Dictionary of Bible Words, copyright 1996, on page 320, it is prob. from the same as 386. Ethan (reference number 386), pronounced ay-thawn, is depicted as "a chieftain." The Bartlett's Roget's Thesaurus, copyright 1996, on page 100, describes a chieftain (reference number 68.3) as "mayor, governor, secretary of state, cabinet member, and the like."
Let us now define the word camel (the singular of the plural word camels). The New Strong's Complete Dictionary of Bible Words, copyright 1996, on page 341, renders the Hebrew word for camel as gamal, pronounced gaw-mawl, and it means "labor." The Bartlett's Roget's Thesaurus, copyright 1996, on page 161, defines labor (reference number 123.16) as "employees, workers, working class." On page, 653, the working class (reference number 742.4) is indicative of "the average person, the boy or girl next door, man or woman on the street."
The conclusion then is, the asses translate to mean the mayors, governors, secretaries of state, cabinet members, and the like. And, on the other hand, the camels depict the working class of America--employees and workers on real jobs. In addition, camels also signify the average people, the boy or girl next door, or the man or woman on the street.
Even more, Exodus, Chapter 9, verse 3 further verifies that not even the oxen shall escape this infection or illness. The word oxen is the plural form of "ox." In the Encarta World English Dictionary, copyright 1999, on page 1291, an ox is "a bull." The Bartlett's Roget's Thesaurus, copyright 1996, on page 701, describes a bull (reference number 799.6) as being synonymous to "big name, big fish, a star, or the like."
The Encarta World English Dictionary, copyright 1999, on page 171, defines a big name as "a well known or successful person." On the same page, a big fish is a big shot, which is "an important person with a great deal of power or influence"; and on page 1744, a star is "a popular performer; especially in the field of entertainment or sports; a celebrity."
By virtue of these definitions, we can affirm quite frankly that oxen symbolize well-known or successful people, along with important people with a great deal of power or influence. Oxen also denote popular performers or celebrities, especially people who are in the field of entertainment or sports.
And lastly, this infection or illness will also affect the sheep. Who are the sheep? In the Encarta World English Dictionary, copyright 1999, on page 1649, the word sheep depicts "a congregation." The Oxford Universal Dictionary, copyright 1955, on page 370, designates a congregation as "members of a school; members of a university or college." Therefore, sheep are symbolic of members of a school, university, or college.
All of these facts have fully set forth the conclusion that "Behold, the HAND of the Lord,
, is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep:...to mean that "if" President George W. Bush does not let
, the Son of
, go, then he (President Bush) can watch attentively for
to exercise His supreme power by inflicting great suffering upon him, as
shall bring about a rapid-spreading infection or illness that will travel across all America and cause the DEATH of all the domestic animals that are kept or raised for sale and profit in areas of farm land across America. Since livestock (domestic animals, such as cows, sheep, horses, pigs, and the like) play a "critical" role in and are vital commodities to the American economy, then without SALES and PROFITS from these animals, America shall suffer colossal financial losses, which shall seriously cripple her economy, such that a huge number of banks and businesses shall fail, large-scale unemployment shall result, and a total economic collapse shall be unavoidable.
And that is not all, but
shall also cause this same vengeful infection or illness to quickly circulate throughout America and wipe out a considerable number of soldiers in the military or the armed forces. Traveling at record-breaking speed, this deadly infection or illness shall take away the lives of a sizable number of mayors, governors, secretaries of state, cabinet members, and the like. Even more than that, it shall spread rapidly and cause the death of millions of the working class people in
America--the average people, the boy or girl next door, or the man or woman on the street. It will not end there, but, rather, this virulent infection or illness shall run rampant throughout every city and state in America and claim the lives of many well-known or successful
people--those who are considered to be important people with a great deal of power or influence; not to mention popular performers or famous celebrities, as well as those who are in the field of entertainment and sports.
This catastrophic epidemic shall cause great suffering to come upon President Bush as "divine" punishment to finally humble him and to bring him into absolute submission to the "divine" will of
, which is to let His Firstborn Son,, go that He may observe a feast unto Him () in the Sunshine State of Florida, or wherever
shall choose to place His name; and even more than that, to set
free from all of the unconstitutional "onerous" restrictions that the
U.S. Parole Commission has imposed upon Him.
And, again, "if" President Bush continues to refuse to let
, the firstborn Son of
, go, and still insists on holding Him in captivity, then he (President Bush), his servants, and his people shall be forced to watch attentively as
brings forth the vengeful ferocity of the fifth
plague--just as He did Pharaoh and the Egyptians: For...there shall be a
'very' grievous MURRAIN" throughout all the land of America.
Be on the look out for our next article, because we shall unveil the cryptic meaning of the word MURRAIN and bring the fifth plague to a conclusion.

When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison (Luke 12:58). For wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it (Ecclesiastes 7:12). We appreciate your continued support.
